Found this beautiful kaolin chert Hardin barbed point as a kid. One of the most beautiful and well worked piece I've ever found. Was found in Union Co IL near town of Lick Creek.

Hey Scuba, that is an awesome point. If it was mine, I'd have it restored.

Thanks guys. I was lucky to grow up in a great area to hunt where we had such a wide range of site periods and area must have been loaded with master knapper a back then because most of the stuff found was beautifully made.
